Danielle Brooks talked about “patience in the journey” at the 2024 Oscars
Danielle Brooks wants fans to know that good things come to those that wait.
Brooks graduated from Juilliard in 2011 and starred in several projects, including “Orange Is the New Black” and “Master of None,” before receiving her first Oscar nomination this 12 months for the musical adaptation of “The Color Purple.”
“(My biggest lesson) was patience in the journey,” she said at the Dolby Theater. “I’ve said it before and it really resonates with me. It’s like God promised you something, take your time. The success of this promise will come; just be patient. And that is what I did here. And I got a nomination – my first.
Even though Brooks didn’t take home an Oscar (Da’Vine Joy Randolph won the award for her role in “The Holdovers”), she was still excited to be in the audience and receive the love and recognition she so rightly deserves.
The star went on to speak about her godmother, Anna Edge admits that she began her acting profession. Brooks was just 15 years old when Edge died after a battle with cancer. That same 12 months, she saw “The Color Purple” on Broadway, based on a speech she gave at the AAFCA Awards in February. As she prepared to go to Juilliard, she discovered that Edge had left her $20,000 in his will – barely enough for Brooks to pay for her first semester at the elite performing arts university.
“I think she would shake my hands,” the “Close Enough” actress said when asked how her godmother would react to seeing her now. “She was really short. She squeezed my hands, looked at me and said, “I’m so proud of you.” I’m so pleased with you.’ And I believe he’s saying it now, looking down.
Brooks has no intention of slowing down after her first Oscar nomination. He will next star alongside Jason Momoa in the adventure film “Minecraft.”

The trailer of the upcoming film by Tythera Perry “Straw” is available, and his “Set It Off” meets “John Q” Vibes
The point is not that Tyler Perry cannot stop, because he won’t stop.
Leaving the very busy 2024, wherein he released three full-length films-“Mea Culpa”, “Divorce in black” and highly recognized “The Six Triple Eight” together with all his television programs and the introduction of a brand new series, corresponding to “Beauty in Black”-Mogul Mogul showed no signs of slowing down in 2025.
The “Tyler Perry’s Duplicity” psychological thriller appeared on Amazon Prime Video, and in June he drops “Straw” on Netflix. The trailer of “Straw” has recently been released and looks downs.
“Straw” is Taraji P. Henson as Janyah, a single mother fortunately, who is thrown out of her apartment, which reaches the last straw and decides to take matters into her hands. The configuration resembles the character of Thandiwe Newton in “Good Deeds”, which is able to win an identical fate, except that she met Wesley Deeds (Tyler Perry), who modified happiness and life with his generosity.
Based on the trailer of “Słomka”, it almost appears to be a version of the “Good Deeds” of the parallel universe wherein no wealthy businessman with the heart of gold appears. In “Słomych” Janyah reached a breakthrough.
Basically – and simply in response to the trailer – it appears that evidently “good deeds” are met “setting IT”, he meets the situation “John Q” … which implies that on June 6 I’ll prepare my popcorn.
Taraji P. Henson is not alien to work with Perry; She appeared in three of his other movies: “The Family That Proys” and “I can do all in myself” (two of his highest rated movies on Rotten Tomatoes), in addition to “Ballyhoo’d” Acrimony “(one of his lowest movies rated on the same platform). The film also includes Sherri Shepherd, Teyana Taylor, Glynn Turman, Sinbad, Rockmond Dunbar, Ashley Versher and Mike Merrill.
“Straw” debuts at Netflix on June 6.
